Chapter 380: Exploring the Building
The heart of the Blood Willow was attacked, and its huge body trembled violently, showing a tendency to wake up again.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming immediately urged the power of his soul to inject it into the crow formation, and the crows cried again. Although the consciousness of the Blood Willow was violently churning, it was ultimately unable to break through the blockade of the illusion.
Huazhi took the opportunity to frantically absorb the demonic power in the blood-colored crystal, and its aura soared wildly. In an instant, it broke through the second-level upper stage, and it has not stopped yet.
As the Blood Willow's body trembled violently, the blood-colored vines lingering around it flew all over the sky. For a time, sand and rocks flew around it, and the wind rolled. The burrowing beast had been tightly bound by the blood vines born from the blood-colored seeds, and most of its blood essence was extracted. It was dying, and at this moment it was directly blown away.
However, Huazhi simply attached his entire body to the Blood Willow and continued to frantically demand.
Yuan Ming knew that this was the critical moment, and victory or defeat depended on this move. He immediately activated his soul power and performed the Dream Butterfly Illusion to firmly suppress the Blood Willow's soul.
The demonic power of the Blood Willow quickly dissipated, and the power of the soul also weakened rapidly, and soon it was less than half of its peak. The dancing blood vines in the sky also slowed down, and it felt a bit weak.
A cold light flashed in Yuan Ming's eyes, and with a thought, a soul crow flapped its wings and shot out into the body of the Blood Willow, performing the soul-collision magic.
Tiangui Sanren approached the Blood Willow, and shot out a three-eyed soul dove from his brow. A thick black mist appeared on his body and also pounced on the Blood Willow's soul.
This was another soul cultivation ability "Soul Erosion" that Tiangui Sanren retained after transforming into a ghost slave. The black mist around the three-eyed soul dove had a strong corrosive effect and could erode the enemy's soul.
A gray shadow flashed and appeared near the Blood Willow. It was a gray female ghost that Yuan Ming had subdued before. It opened its mouth and let out a piercing ghost howl, hitting the Blood Willow hard.
Several other ghosts with soul attack abilities also flew over and attacked the Blood Willow.
The Blood Willow's soul was already extremely weak, and now under the attack of the soul wave after wave, it finally collapsed completely, and its soul flew away.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this was his first time facing a level 4 monster. Fortunately, he was a soul cultivator, and he had many means. If it were an ordinary Jindan stage cultivator, even if his cultivation was one or two small realms higher, he would have to explain it here.
Huazhi was overjoyed and hurriedly controlled the purple-black vines to drill further into the Blood Willow, and its body slowly merged into it.
Countless small vines emerged from all parts of the Blood Willow, intertwined and entangled on the surface, and soon submerged the entire Blood Willow, forming a huge purple-black cocoon.
Yuan Ming immediately left the Stealing Heaven Cauldron and came to the purple-black cocoon.
Through the cocoon, he could still clearly feel the breath of Huazhi, which seemed to be still rising rapidly, and it was already close to the third level.
According to his estimation, with the deep demonic power of this blood-colored willow fourth-level monster, it was enough for Huazhi to break through to the third level.
In this way, Huazhi's strength will be greatly increased, and his ability to protect himself here will be further improved.
Yuan Ming nodded secretly, and emitted a green light to wrap the purple-black cocoon, put it into the spirit beast bag, and then looked at the King Kong next to him, saying: "You have also made a lot of efforts to kill this blood willow, but Huazhi needs the remains of this tree to improve his strength. When I leave here, I will find a way to reward you."
"I am satisfied that the master can think of me! Besides, Huazhi's strength is too weak. If it doesn't improve, I'm too lazy to talk to it." King Kong patted his chest and said.
Yuan Ming felt relieved. Huazhi and King Kong usually quarreled as usual, but now it seems that they still have some sense of companionship at critical moments.
Although King Kong did not suffer any injuries in this fierce battle, he also consumed a lot. Yuan Ming also put him into the spirit beast bag to recuperate, and then took back all the ghost slaves into the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade Picture.
He cleaned up the battlefield, took a short breath on the spot, and then got up and continued to walk deep into the island.
Although Xue Liu had been killed, he was still on full alert. Fortunately, there were no more sneak attacks along the way, and he came to the three-story dark attic.
Yuan Ming stood in front of the attic door, and saw a layer of faint blue light attached to the door. It didn't look like an ordinary restriction.
He was not surprised but happy. There were restrictions around the attic, which meant that there must be good things stored inside.
Yuan Ming immediately raised the white bone knife and chopped it hard on the attic door.
The expected loud noise did not appear. The white bone knife was like chopping on a thick piece of grease. Most of the power was removed, and the blade slid to the side.
"Huh, a water-attributed restriction?" Yuan Ming's heart moved, and he took out the white ring he had obtained earlier and put it on, injecting mana into it.
"Huh"
The white ring's surface was shining, and a white cold mist suddenly shot out, covering the entire door, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply.
According to Yuan Ming's estimation, the cold mist in the ring was extremely powerful, and it could be called the nemesis of water-attributed magic weapons, and it should also be effective against water-attributed restrictions.
The result did not disappoint him. The entire door was covered with a layer of white ice under the white cold mist, and the blue light restriction on the door was instantly frozen.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming raised the white bone knife again, used all his magic power to pour into it, and then slashed forward. A huge white knife light suddenly bloomed, illuminating a large area of nearby space, and fell on the door.
"Boom"
After a loud noise, the white ice and the door below were shattered and broke into pieces.
Yuan Ming then put away the bone knife with satisfaction, and after scanning the inside several times with his spiritual sense, he carefully stepped into the attic.
The first floor of the attic is a reception room, with several tables and chairs, screens and paintings. Although the layout is not bad, it has a sense of freshness and elegance, but they are all mundane things. Naturally, they have no value to Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming slowly climbed up to the second floor along the stairs next to him.
At first glance, the second floor of the attic is quite empty, with only a mahogany square table in the center. On the left and right of the table, there are two things, a palm-sized dark red mask and a foot-long silver hammer.
Both items emit a faint fluctuation of mana. There are two nameplates under the mask and the hammer, which read "Blood Bone Mask" and "Thunder Hammer" respectively.
"Sure enough, there is a treasure!" Yuan Ming's eyes lit up but he did not rush over.
He first used the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade to summon Tian Gui San Ren, and asked him to come forward to carefully check the area around the square table. After confirming that there was no danger, Yuan Ming personally stepped forward and picked up the blood bone mask first.
After Yuan Ming ordered Tiangui Sanren to guard around him, he used his magic power to explore the mask.
As a result, he subconsciously smiled when he saw it.
This blood-bone mask contains a full nine runes, most of which Yuan Ming did not recognize. These runes outline a grand rune array, which looks extremely exquisite.
In addition to the grand aura of the nine runes, the rune array also exudes a perfect aura.
"As the saying goes, nine nines return to the truth, and nine is the extreme number. Could it be that the limit of the rune array in the magic treasure is nine runes?" Yuan Ming secretly speculated, and then sensed the blood-bone mask and quickly figured out its ability.
The blood-bone mask is the same type of treasure as the Qianji mask that was refined before, which can change the appearance.
However, the blood-bone mask is much stronger than the Qianji mask. Not only can it arbitrarily change the appearance and body shape, but it can also completely hide the fluctuations of the wearer's mana, so that no one can find flaws from the breath.
The ability of this treasure is not limited to this. It can also collect the aura of other people's magic power and store it in nine special spaces inside the mask, which can store nine different auras.
When using the blood bone mask to transform others, you can use this ability to release different aura fluctuations at will. If you can collect the aura of the transformed person, you can achieve a perfect disguise.
"Yes, with this thing, it will be much more convenient to disguise yourself as someone else in the future." Yuan Ming nodded, put away the blood bone mask, and picked up the thunder hammer.
Like the mask, this thunder hammer also contains nine runes, and all of them are thunder and lightning runes.
Yuan Ming refined the nine thunder rune array for a while, and soon found out the ability of this treasure.
Because of the nine thunder runes, this thunder hammer contains a lot of thunder and lightning power, which can release amazing thunder and lightning attacks, far beyond Fang Youting's purple thunder steel fork.
In addition to releasing thunder and lightning when facing the enemy, this hammer also has the ability to absorb thunder and lightning, store it in the nine thunder rune array, and release it when necessary.
If you are willing to spend time collecting, it may not be impossible to use this thunder hammer to exert the power of lightning in the Nascent Soul stage.
Yuan Ming resisted the urge to immediately sacrifice and test the power of this treasure, put it away first, and climbed up to the third floor of the attic with brisk steps.
The second floor of the attic stored two nine-talisman array magic treasures. The third floor should be placed with more precious things, right?
As soon as he climbed to the third floor, Yuan Ming was stunned.
The third floor of the attic was actually empty. There was nothing in sight, not even a table, and a thick layer of dust fell on the ground.
"Have the treasures here been taken away?" Yuan Ming was disappointed, but soon regained his calm.
He has already obtained a lot of treasures, so it doesn't matter if the third floor is empty.
But since he came here, he didn't careless, and he still checked the third floor carefully.
It can be said that God will not let down those who work hard. After this search, Yuan Ming really found something.
From the dust in the corner of the attic, he found something that looked like a black key, half a foot long, as thick as a finger, without any breath fluctuations, as if it was just an ordinary object.
Yuan Ming used his spiritual sense to carefully explore the black key, and soon found that there were two small words engraved on the black key: Shura.
"Shura? Oh, Xiying said before that the Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts was created by a casual cultivator named Master Shura. Here is another key engraved with the word Shura. Could this immortal mansion be related to Master Shura?" He couldn't help but speculate.
Just as Yuan Ming was thinking, the word Shura on the black key suddenly lit up, and a black magic circle appeared under his feet.
A large piece of black light gushed out and submerged his body.
Before Yuan Ming could react, he felt a flash in front of his eyes, and the whole person disappeared from the original place out of thin air.
